amount mismatch between payslip and bank statement

[bmetikal]

Hi, There is a little difference(47 pence more in pay slip) bewteen the amount in pay slip(2010.67) and bank statement(2010.20). Would it create problem when i go for my Tier 1 extension.
Please help me.

[geriatrix]

No.

My employer(umbrella company) is not responding when i asked for corrected pay slips.
And he is not providing a letter stating this manual error.
1.First place i am worried to go with these incorrect amount pay slips.
2.May be some times it is risky with the pence difference.

So
1. is there any way to complain about the umbrella company.
2.how to get rid of this situation and use the payslips for my visa exetension.
could some one please advice.

If I get this right, only the gross salary mentioned on your payslips matters for points calculation. And your bank account shows net salary payments. as ong as they don't greatly differ, you should be fine I think.

Hello,

I am in a similar situation as you where figures on pay slip & bank statement did not match for 1 month due to clerical/accounting error. To make matters worse that amount was adjusted in the following months pay again resulting in mismatched figures on pay slip & bank account.

I have come across cases where mismatched earnings even by a few pennies (on pay slip & bank account) were not considered for that particular month, so there is a risk of you falling short on the income criteria.

You should get a letter from your ex employer that it was a clerical error which resulted in different figures. If they are unwilling to help, make them realise that it was error on part of company's accounting department and they must give you a letter explaining the lapse as it is required by UKBA or you will initiate legal action. This much should be sufficient to get the letter from the company, however, resort to this only as a last option. Get your work done as gently as possible by speaking to someone whom you knew well in management first. company will eventually realise it was their mistake & give you an explanation in writing without any hassles.

Goodluck

The difference is too small (47p) to be of any relevance (assuming that we are comparing net salary on payslip against net salary credit in bank account).

I am sent back at PEO croydon for salary net figure and corresponding Bank credit miss match of just 15p!!
I would strongly suggest to take a letter from your umbrella company seeking the explanation about why this has happened.
Not sure about other PEOs but certainly at Solihul dont take chance.

good luck

Did the CW give you the option of proceeding with your application if mismatched earnings are reduced to zero (provided you still make the income criteria) ?

I am shocked, to say the least! Given this, IMHO, UKBA should include the following statement in the policy guidance (and in bold) - "UKBA's caseworkers are not permitted to use common sense when assessing applications"!!!

I didnt get you exactly, but how could you reduce it to zero while CW is sitting next to you. They were not even ready to consider the rest of the salary slips(which were sufficient enough for the points).
I applied again without those salary slips at croydon and just today got the news that I got my tier1 extended (took help of solicitor to book appointment)

I know it is very sad. even my solicitor said as per the policy guidance the CW are allowed to ignore the mistakes if the rest of the application is proper.

@pkat - I meant was the CW ready to consider rest of the earnings disrergarding earnings for the months where figures were mismatched, but i got my answer

Well no one can help at this stage since your application is with HO already.

It all depends on the case worker how they take it. If HO wants to know why there is a difference in figures, they will contact you. If HO sees this as a minor difference, they will discretely grant leave to remain. If they return your application, you may have right to appeal if your current leave has expired. If u still have leave, then you can re apply. Hope that HO refunds the fees if application is returned.

Goodluck

Thanks for your reply.

The pay slip generally shows both gross and net (take home) salaries. The bank statement should match with the net payment.

But in your case, one slight mismatch of pew pennies wont cause any issue.

This is an old post, but I can assure you all "HO will NOT contact you for any clarification" I speak of personal experiences where my application was rejected by "£1". Yes, "One Pound".

Remember:
*They don't contact you.
*They don't ask for clarifications
* HO Case workers are mostly people without any higher education
*They don't apply common sense

Only way around this is:
*Get letter from employer confirming the difference.
* Atleast, make sure you "declare the error" with application in a Covering letter.
*Finally, you should get a chance to APPEAL, but it will be way faster (but Expensive) reapplying then the time it takes for appeal to be successful and visa getting stamped!

Took me 9 months from application to visa stamp.

YIKES!! That is pure crazy. The more I read this forum the more disillusioned I become with bureaucracy and the Coalition government (not that I wasn't already...)

pmr have you had any news?

Hi Guyes
I have some problem with my payslip. We always get payslip from employer,

Now problem is the payment mode , last six month we receiving cheque instead of BACS. In our payslip it is mention BACS. Also problem with pay date. pay date mention 30 / 31 end of month. But we get paid between 19 to 28 each month. I spoken with company payroll and they did not give any appropriate ans. and they refused to give me any letter. I will appreciate if any one can give me the right advise on this.

This is what I had put in
______________

To whom it may concern

RE: Mr/Ms XXX (NI no. XXX)

This is to confirm that due to an accounting/clerical error, salary credited in the bank account (sort code, account number) of Mr/Ms XXX for month of XXX, sum total of £XXX, was £XXX more than actual pay of £XXX on the pay slip. This was corrected in (month) wages by deducting £XXX from the figure on (month) payslip of £XXX, reducing the amount deposited in bank to £XXX.

I was working with the small firm and I had been paid by cheque every month. I also incurred some expenses for the firm, which was paid by cheque as well.

I had deposited salary cheque and expenses cheque together with the bank . I was under impression that it would carry different entries however, I just found out that bank has combined both cheque and shown both amount as a single entry. Obviously , the amount on bank statement doesn't match on pay slip . I went to the bank and they said they can't give any explanation . The firm I used to work has closed its business .

to make it simple - Salary on pay slip -£1000
On bank statement - £1000+£58 (expenses) = £1058

Is there any way out ? Please note all are genuine business, it was just mistake happened that deposited both cheque together with one deposit slips .

Any advice highly appreciated

[hussainkothari]

Sorry mate, I am not sure what advise to give you. The best I can say (which may not be possible) is to either get an explanation letter from the bank or new payslips from the company. If neither of them is possible, you may want to consult a solicitor.

I hope that you would have realized this mistake in the first instance and used different deposit slips next time on wards. If this would have been the case, you would have only one month of salary to worry for (hopefully this would not matter a great deal for your points).

There were difference of 20p in my June salary slip and bank statement and also the salary deposit date is different each month.

So I got a Letter from Employer mentioning the Gross and net amount each month in a table format and also the amount & date when the pay is deposited in the bank.

And I got another letter from the employer mentioning the difference of £0.20 from payslip & bank statement.

I got my visa extended on 13th March 2012.
